"Resetting VI:[vi name]"

[JeffOverton]

Hey everybody,

  I recently got a popup that said "Resetting VI: blah.vi" that won't close, can't be aborted, etc.  I have to exit it through the Task Manager

  I did some looking around, and all I found on this topic was the following thread and Knowledge Base. Basically, the knowledge base is about using the abort button, which I don't, and the thread just talks generally about losing VIs from memory that are still referenced by SubVIs. Anybody have any more info?

The only things I know that cause the "Resetting VI" dialog box are the following:

1. Clicking the "Abort" button on a running VI.
2. Calling the "Abort VI" method on a VI through VI Server.
3. Calling the "Stop" function in a VI.
4. Using the Close Reference function on a VI reference to a VI that has left external references (hardware, ActiveX, etc.) open.

Obviously, these situations won't always bring up the "Resetting VI" dialog box, but they are capable of it.  If you're not doing any of these things, I have no idea what the cause might be.  If you narrow it down to something outside of what I've listed, please let me know.
